The Barry County Sheriff's Office isn't soliciting money, contrary to claims from a scammer who is calling county residents, police say.

A woman is making calls to county residents from an unknown number, asking for money on behalf of the Sheriff's Office, Undersheriff Bob Baker said in a news release Tuesday. The caller also asks if they lock their home and vehicles.

These calls display no caller ID, Baker said.

"The Barry County Sheriff's office is not soliciting money," Baker said. "We believe this may be an attempt to gain information for a home invasion or larceny from a vehicle."
